This is me as a manchild in 1994-1995. I am starting to look like him again. This kid was trying to dunk. He was damn close.
‘Free Your Mind‘ is heading up the charts again starting this weekend in the Caribbean thanks to the Godfathers.
One thing music taught me was patience. The other thing music taught me was not to be too patient.
There is a reason I opened my last Staxx Brothers album with ‘White of Their Eyes’.
Mackenzie Anthony had told me in confidence the day Chris O’Connor and I started writing that raver over his incredible riff, that Rolling Stone Magazine took a close look at Ayron Jones. They declined to cover him just then, but they saw his incredible potential to reignite Seattle Rock & Roll. They would be watching…
☆ I don’t think Mackenzie minds that I tell this story now. He is a big part of that story.
I was thrilled for Ayron that day and competitive at the same time. I love how hard ‘The Kid’ is pushing his professional career through the front door. Ayron’s friendship and support has pushed me and by all means promoted me in the best ways in this town.
I owe Ayron Jones. He deserves to lead from the front with his “Seattle Movement” motto. Put him on the cover.

But baby, I’m a back door man. I am going break first in the Caribbean, and Reggae Powerhouse Band and I have our eyes on Africa. I am thirsty.
Watch the Caribbean charts.
